What to do next? full bolt on Evo 9 SE

when some ppl buy cheap O2 housings, it doesn't have provisions to use the factory bracket to help support the weight of the turbo/manifold etc which can lead to manifold cracking (regardless of maker). this was evident on the Apexi rx6 kits. manifold was high quality but still cracked due to the weight below it not supported properly.
i didn't actually say buy a 3" O2, but now that u mention it, Works makes a 76mm O2 (2.99") that flows real good.
as far as brakes went i didn't say overhaul them completely. the calipers are very good but need better rotors/pads/fluid & def need the SS lines bcuz as u know when bringing evos to a halt from high speed u have to mash them & not simply press then add pressure.

i would get a meth kit, pretty sweet power gains. as far as blowing a motor i seen more people blow a motor with an agressive race gas tune, and not using proper amount of race gas or forget to switch maps and blow their **** up.

second, i would not want to depend on oil/coolant lines holding my entire turbo setup considering how much motor movement there is!!! seems silly to me. i've seen stock motors rock in excess of 6" on dynos. what u gonna do when ur oil/coolant lines break???
i say get an O2 (like the Works or Invidia) that has the factory lower bracket stay as an added measure of safety.

i disagree. the stock licp has brackets holding it up. most aftermarket ones do not.
